QA/QC Supervisor – Oil & Gas Manufacturing

Location: Midland, TX
Industry: Oil & Gas / Oilfield Equipment Manufacturing
Position: Full-Time

We are looking for an experienced QA/QC Supervisor to join an established oil & gas manufacturing operation in Midland, Texas.

This is a hands-on quality leadership position for someone who understands the realities of an oilfield manufacturing environment. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience manufacturing or inspecting sucker rod pumps, artificial lift equipment, downhole tools, valves, wellhead equipment, pumps, machined components, or other oilfield products.

If you have spent your career around machining, manufacturing, inspection, API requirements, and oilfield equipment—and you're ready to take on a quality leadership role—we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and supervise the day-to-day activities of the QA/QC inspection team.
• Oversee incoming, in-process, and final product inspections.
• Ensure manufactured products meet engineering drawings, specifications, customer requirements, and applicable API/ISO standards.
• Inspect and verify machined components using micrometers, calipers, gauges, thread gauges, and other precision measuring equipment.
• Review blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances, material specifications, and manufacturing requirements.
• Monitor quality throughout machining, fabrication, welding, assembly, testing, and final inspection.
• Maintain proper material identification and product traceability.
• Manage NCRs and work directly with manufacturing and engineering teams to resolve quality issues.
• Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions when defects or recurring problems are identified.
• Help reduce scrap, rework, warranty issues, and customer quality concerns.
• Maintain inspection reports, material certifications, calibration records, test documentation, and other quality records.
• Participate in internal, customer, API, ISO, and third-party audits.
• Train and mentor inspectors and production personnel on quality expectations.
• Work closely with Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain leadership to continuously improve product quality.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with 5+ years of QA/QC experience in oil & gas or industrial manufacturing, ideally with previous lead or supervisory responsibilities.

Strong candidates will have experience with:

Oilfield equipment manufacturing • Sucker rod pumps • Artificial lift • Downhole equipment • Pumps and valves • CNC machining • Precision inspection • API standards • ISO 9001 • API Q1 • GD&T • Blueprint reading • NCRs • Root-cause analysis • Corrective actions • Material traceability • Calibration

You should be comfortable working directly on the manufacturing floor and communicating with machinists, welders, assemblers, inspectors, engineers, operations managers, and customers.

Candidates We Especially Want to Talk To

Your background could be an excellent fit if you've worked for a manufacturer of:

Sucker rod pumps or components
Artificial lift systems
Downhole tools and equipment
Wellhead equipment
Oilfield valves and pumps
Precision-machined oilfield components
Pressure-containing equipment
Production and completion equipment

Experience working in an API-certified manufacturing facility is highly desirable.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn't simply a paperwork-driven quality position.

You'll have the opportunity to be directly involved with manufacturing operations, lead the inspection function, solve real production quality issues, and help strengthen the overall quality program.

We're looking for someone who understands both sides of the equation: maintaining strict quality standards while working collaboratively with production to keep manufacturing moving.

If you're currently a QA/QC Supervisor, Quality Supervisor, Senior Quality Inspector, Lead Quality Inspector, Quality Manager, Manufacturing Quality Supervisor, or Quality Engineer within the oil & gas manufacturing industry, we'd like to speak with you.
